Pupil Records—EC Section 49060 et seq.<br />
Except for certain directory information, such as a student’s name, address, telephone<br />
number, and certain other information disclosable by the school district, pupil records<br />
are not disclosable without parental consent, except to certain specified governmental<br />
entities and school employees. Parents have an absolute right of access to their<br />
children’s records and may formally challenge the contents. School districts and private<br />
schools are required to transfer a pupil’s records to each other when the student<br />
changes schools. School districts must notify parents of their rights under the pupil<br />
records law (EC Section 49063).<br />
Grades—EC sections 49066 and 49070(b)<br />
The grade given to each pupil by the teacher of the course, in the absence of clerical or<br />
mechanical error, bad faith, incompetency, or fraud, shall be final. Neither the local<br />
governing board nor superintendent shall order a grade changed without first giving the<br />
teacher who has assigned the grade the opportunity to state orally or in writing the<br />
reasons for which the grade in question was given.<br />
Promotion and Retention—EC sections 48070 and 48070.5<br />
School districts shall adopt policies regarding promotion and retention of students<br />
pursuant to the standards in EC Section 48070.5, including an opportunity for the<br />
student’s parent to consult with the school principal and the responsible teacher(s)<br />
before a decision to promote or retain is made and to appeal the decision. There shall<br />
be notification when a student is identified as being at risk of retention.<br />
